megbowlstrike Posted August 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hi! We will be on the Empress of the Seas on Aug 23 and our last port stop is at Coco Cay (I think we will be there on Aug 31). I've read all I can about it on these boards, but have a couple questions that I couldn't find answers to. 1. Does Coco Cay have cell phone service? I have T-Mobile and it works out of the country, so just curious if I'll be able to use it there. 2. Do you need to bring towels with you from the ship or can you get some on the island? 3. Is South Beach closed right now? 4. How can we see the ships that will be in port with us that day? Thank you in advance for any answers you can provide!

Rare crewsweeper Posted August 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Can't answer all your questions as haven't been there yet. But according to cruisetimetables, 2 ships-- Empress of the Seas and navigator of the Seas will be in port on 8/31/19. Both scheduled to arrive at 8 in the morning. And according to some July posts South Beach is closed until December 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYMAN Posted August 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Lots of towels at the Island Towel station right by the Oasis Pool. It’s just past Captain Jacks to the left of the pool. I do agree with cruisin crow if there’s two ships calling on CoCoCay, high demand then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people swimming and only heard of one person getting stung. I was sitting in about two feet of water, and they were around me, but no sting. Lots of folks snorkeling too without an issue. Very small jellyfish. 3” to maybe 5” round.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
